Betty Page Impala is the daughter of Paulie and Babs. She is a sweet kid at heart (which doesn't actually beat). She is into social issues and saving the planet...things like recycling, ozone holes and solar energy (stinging irony), much to the chagrin of Paulie...She wants to save the whales! I mean if she wants an endangered animal to save, what about the plight of Peruvian Vampire Bats...their numbers have dropped steadily for the past decade! She has a secret crush on Tony's son Tony Jr. (seceret to Tony Jr. for sure). Paulie sees this crush as a good way of staying on Tony's good side and is exploring how he can use teenage love to his advantage.

Luke Impala is Paulie and Bab's only son. He's not too keen on the idea of carrying on the family tradition of being a loan shark, he's more interested in pursuing his dream of being a dentist...or if that doesn't pan out, a dental hygenist. He is known to butt heads with his father over a variety of issues from politics (he's a Libertarian, dad's a Republican) to Music (his tastes are eclectic, dad's a Republican). He is very popular in high school with the ladies, but he really doesn't take an interest...could he be...I mean...there's nothing wrong with it if he were but, I'm just saying.
